According to the motto “Everything has to go out”, the English-language media once again searched the biography of Black-Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22nd at the age of 76. In addition to all kinds of subtleties for music nerds and metal heads, there is also plenty of gossip.
The hairdresser Michelle Pugh
For example, the UK boulevard newspaper “Daily Mail” in flowery tone was titled: “The heights and depths in the marriage of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne: Like the rock power couple, during their 40-year love story, mastered great challenges-and the mistake that almost ended almost everything.”
The sheet alluded to May 2016 when Sharon separated from her wild spouse “temporarily” after decades of marriage to three children.
The reason for the dumping was the hairdresser Michelle Pugh. She claimed to the US magazine “People” that her affair started with Ozzy in 2012. A year after she had colored Ozzy for the first time, as she gave the best with involuntary comedy. Pugh worked in the high-end salon “Méche” in the Bling-Bling district of Beverly Hills. In addition to Ozzy, their customers also included Jennifer Lopez, Camila Alves, Sarah Paulson or Molly Sims.
“What appealed to me? The chemistry?” Pugh asked himself in an interview with the “People” reporters. “They just existed between us. It is this indescribable something in life that you can’t deny. And he didn’t do it either.”
The month earlier, Ozzy had frankly emphasized on the TV show “Good Morning America” that his relationship with Pugh would have been purely physical and was due to his “sex addiction”. The “small” affair had long since become a show biz crisis.
Ozzy went into therapy
So a press spokesman Osbournes had to take over, things were to be braided reasonably again. “He is sorry when Ms. Pugh has seen her sexual relationship in a completely different context. He also wants to apologize to other women with whom he had sexual relationships. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh, Ozzy has been in intensive therapy.”
Pugh had seen things fundamentally differently: “I cannot deny that I fell in love with a married man who has courted me, but this story that I am out there is a group that was about the money – that is simply not true,” she told People.
Pugh insisted that they had also built up an emotional bond. Conducted with profound discussions about their “common passions” such as painting and history. It would not be easy to separate from the “sweet, funny guy from England”. “I wake up from my dreams in which he sometimes occurs. When I wake up, I am only relaxed … but starts the emptiness. It is terrible.”
“Abuse of older people”
Ozzy and Sharon reconciled again after their separation phase, but the mud battle was held around Pugh. She claimed to “People” that she was persecuted and “accompanied” by gossip reports to work.
Ozzy’s daughter Kelly would also have tipped into the fire when she published her private telephone number and accused her of “X” of the “Abuse of Older People” in a deleted contribution. (What a kind of black humor expresses, Ozzy was in the late 60.)
The hairdresser sent Kelly Osbourne a declaration of cease and desist, especially since the contribution with her phone number remained online for almost a month. According to court documents, Pugh filed an official lawsuit against the Rachengel subsidiary three months later. Because of defamation, intentional inflammation of mental cruelty and public announcement of private data. Father Ozzy was a heart and a soul with his wife Sharon at that time.
